Tent-atively speaking, we kept calm & camped on!

Leeds Report written by Laura

What a great weekend the GoodGym Leeds crew just had!

We headed up to near Appletreewick in the Yorkshire Dale's for a night of camping.

Camping & Clueless: My lack of camping skills were on full display & along with a borrowed, very sad looking tent, we set up our pitch. Adam & Eva were the heroes of the hour as they'd luckily brought a spare that Alice and I could use. Thanks so much guys! We were warm & dry which somehow I doubt we would have been in the other one.

We then headed off for a 5 hour hike around the beautiful dales, the highlight being the waterfall at the Valley of Desolation, some ducklings & the Yorkshire Dales ice cream. Jason managed to get a squelchy boot but luckily we had no other incidents!

We then headed back for some food in Addingham and a camp fire with roasted marshmallows in the evening.

The next morning we packed up (I made a mess of that too) & headed for breakfast before setting off home. Thanks to Jason for his tea/coffee set up in the morning.

Thanks so much to Jubz for his organisation skills & his very thorough spreadsheet & for bringing the fire. You did a great job. And to Katie Lees for her map reading on the walk & to everyone else for their help during Tent Gate!!

Welcome back to Eva, it was great to have you along for the weekend :)

Helen was the superhero, cycling to & from the campsite and just casually throwing in an 8 mile run on Sunday morning for good measure! We're all in awe if you!

Thanks all, until next year...

Dig like a Badger

Leeds Report written by Laura

There's no better feeling than a hot summer GoodGym evening! Tonight we all get nettled at Bedford Fields, weeding all the front ready for the Green Fair on Saturday. Jubz & Alice were instructed to 'dig like a badger' by Beth when digging out wood chip! Khara & Megan were troopers & entertained some children that were at the garden by letting them help paint some wooden slats & Christian gave them a lift through the garden in a wheelbarrow! They were delighted!

We finished off by eating some raspberries in the garden & running back to Heart.

Welcome to Charlotte & Robbie on their first session, we hope to see you again soon.

Branching Out

Leeds Report written by Laura

Alpacas, horses, weeding, running & cake...what more do you need on a Wednesday evening?! We spent the evening running to Beckhill Community Garden, visiting the Alpaca's on route. There was a big group tonight, so we weeded a large area, litter picked, cleared the steps and laid cardboard and wood chip. The garden was celebrating winning a certificate for outstanding volunteers, of which GoodGym Leeds have been a big part! A few of us then headed back to Heart for a drink and cake! Thanks for a great evening all :)

Doing it for the Yoof

Leeds Report written by Helen Noyes

6 GoodGymers tackled the leafleting task with youthful energy (until Christian set a challenging run pace) and after splitting into 3 teams, we followed our maps to explore parts of the local area new to some. We discovered the Hyde Park Picture House; New Headingley Club; several primary schools and churches lacking letter boxes. Sainsbury's vetted our leaflets most thoroughly...their noticeboards really do 'Taste the Difference'....All completed in an hour of beautiful sunshine. Thanks to Lilla from Unity for her detailed maps!

Twelve kids & a peaceful home

Leeds Report written by Laura

What a night! We celebrated Katie's upcoming wedding with a feast by Shannen & her catering company, The Honest Supper Club. The food was amazing & we polished it off with cake curtesy of Snack Force leader Jubz. Thanks guys, we loved it!! We all had a go at writing Katie's vows & apparently 12 kids & a peaceful home are on the agenda, along with pants on a lamp post?!!?!?!?!

Before the feast, the runners were taken on a wildlife mystery tour with an Alpaca being the star of the show. We did 5K, so we were a bit late for the task, but luckily the non runners were already hard at work (sorry guys)! We trimmed hedges, cleared the brambles, litter picked and revealed the tiles along the path.

We finished off with a walk back to Heart. Thanks for a great evening all & good luck Katie!

The Heat of the Moment

Leeds Report written by Laura

In the words of Rachel, 'what a wholesome evening!'

After a very hot run, it was so nice to be back up at the OWLS allotments on a lovely warm evening. We weeded several beds & paths & as there was 13 of us, we made a huge difference by the time we left. I'm always amazed by how much we can get done in an hour! This will allow the OWLS service users to focus on the fun stuff, planting and seeing to all the vegetables they're planting this summer.

Welcome to Ankita on her first Wednesday session & welcome back to Kawan.
